Question:
I'm going to make it my personal mission to convince people that
there is no magic format for a template. What you consider "good formatting"
might be unattractive to another person. The part that matters is your
skillset. Get *that* point across and damn the format.
Answer:
-Yes I agree and it's not so much that I'm trying to fit a mold or find the
magic template, but I'm trying to fit a lot of stuff into one or two pages.
I have the greatest difficulty in creating columns for sections; each time I
try it ends up being applied to the entire document and throws ALL the
formatting I created out the window. I've just gotten very frustrated using
Word for formatting anything but the most basic documents.
-Then you need to learn styles - start off with Word's own resume formats
(which use tables to layout the page).
As for your formatting changing all the document, uncheck the automatically
update box in the format style dialog.
